Finding the good in everyday

Morning wake-up calls have been a staple at hotels since the early 1900s. Now, City Lodge Hotels is pioneering its own brand of nocturnal hospitality, with Bedtime Stories for Business People. Anxious travellers tossing and turning the night before a dreaded conference or pitch have recourse to a witty repertoire of bespoke tales – funny, […]

February is Rare Disease Awareness Month, and something that is very close to my heart. In fact, it is the reason I started blogging and sharing on social media. You see, in 2004, I was diagnosed with a rare and potentially life-limiting condition called Myasthenia Gravis. Myasthenia gravis (my-us-THEE-nee-uh GRAY-vis) causes muscles under your voluntary […]

It’s a new year, and I am getting back on top of sharing some of my favourite local finds. From restaurants to local brands, to decor and so much more. And my first blog of the year is for a new brand, Fanoos Co, that I discovered that makes absolutely WONDERFUL scented candles and other […]

Growing up in a family that has always looked after our health, we have often had diffusers in our homes. My sister had an air purifier in her gym that she ran, and I loved choosing from her variety of scented solutions according to my mood. She then bought me my very first PerfectAire purifier […]

I was so thrilled when I saw a friend of mine had written a book. Brenda has always had a deep love for African Wildlife, and I have seen her many posts raising funds and awareness for these beautiful animals, but specifically for rhinos.

This last week I got to attend the unveiling of the fresh new-look Whiskas Dry Food at the official launch in Fourways, Johannesburg. My friend Brent Lindeque, aka “The Good Things Guy” was the purrrr-fect host for such a fun event, and I was taken to tears as we heard about the work that Wollies […]

Having recently returned from a trip of a lifetime, I realised the importance of wearing good quality sunglasses, and how these really do protect your eyes. PLUS, polarised sunglasses are honestly a whole new level of amazingness and the clarity that you get when looking at the ocean and gorgeous views that surround us. When […]

Over the years I have found my body changing. Expanding, dimpling, growing, muffining… My pants fit a little differently, and I struggle to find clothes that I feel comfortable in and that still make me happy in their colourfulness and patterns. And the hardest has been underwear. I don’t want to spend my day picking […]

You may remember that I attended Corks & Forks a while back, and while I was there, I really got to see some of the amazing local brands we have when it comes to wines, aperitifs and spirits. One that stood out for me was HAUS – and not only because it’s wine in a […]
